Tornado Cash devs charged with laundering more than $1B

When Signal becomes illegal in, say, the UK, will you support the extradition of Signal developers to the UK simply because they're knowingly breaking the law? At what point does it matter what's right?

Signal is threatening to leave jurisdictions where they become illegal rather than comply. They're not threatening to keep operating in violation of the law.

What does "leaving a jurisdiction" mean? Can Tornado Cash "leave the US jurisdiction" as well and will then be left alone?

Will you support the UK if they ask for the extradition of Signal developers, on the basis that say Signal will continue to have UK users accessing their service?

Where are your values?

You can - by not being inside the US, doing proper KYC and rejecting US customers.

Looking forward to doing KYC on my Signal account then.

What about the GP's comment implies that they support extraditing people to foreign countries?
